10 Yummy Edible PlayDough Recipes

My 2 year old has decided that craft time equals snack time! I had to get creative since he is eating me out of house and home. These days craft time only lasts a couple seconds. Oh and yes before you ask me, I am feeding him! He is a bit picky when it come to REAL food but for some reasons crafts look good to him. The question was how to make edible playdough for kids? I headed to google and found these!

I decided to try out some edible Play Dough recipes so that we can enjoy craft time in peace!

To see how the edible Playdoh in the picture was made, Check out Mama Jenn’s post!

My favorite edible playdough recipe is and it is a great recipe for edible playdough without peanut butter

Kool-Aid or Jell-o Play Dough

This is a fast and beautiful way to make edible playdough with Kool Aid

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients together in a large saucepan. Slowly add water mixed with oil and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens to dough. Place on a heatproof service and knead until cool enough for children to handle. Dough will be the color of the Kool-Aid mix and will smell like the Kool-Aid mix. his dough can be stored in a tightly covered container for up to six months.

This recipe makes the most brilliant colors and the dough smells so yummy! My boys love it and it is so much cheaper hat the store brand! I think it is better quality too!

The runner up recipe is Peanut Butter Play Dough. I can not personally use this in my house since one of my boys is allergic o peanuts but it is a yummy recipe and many kids love it!

I’ve wanted to do something sensory/manipulative for my 16 month old son, but was afraid of him eating it. I don’t care if it says Non-toxic, if I don’t know what is in it, I don’t want him to eat it! So this was a great find! I don’t think ill have to monitor him to keep him from eating it though, as soon as I put it down for him, he took a big bite and vomited immediately! It does taste pretty nasty, but at least I know it’s nothing that’ll hurt him! 🙂
Also, to get more vibrant colors, add appropriate food coloring to oil + water mixture before adding to dry ingredients!

I just wanted to say that the amount of salt in this recipe I’m sure is to act as a preservative. If you diminish the amount of salt used in the recipe you probably don’t want to count on keeping it around for 6 months. Just my thoughts. I’m going to try it. But, one question does the koolaid stain things?

The original post that you link to says it’s NOT edible. In the comments Mama Jenn says it’s not meant to be eaten. She does say it SMELLS nice but that is all. Your post is misleading. Perhaps you should change it?
